Slightly aware of his consciousness James rolled to his right to pull Lily close to him. Just as he felt his fingertips reach her body, the world was pulled right out from under him.

James wasn't sure what had happened when he hit the floor, all he knew was that somewhere between dreaming about lily and reaching for her he'd managed to roll off of his bed.

Looking around to make sure he woken anyone up he noticed only two large lumps that took the place of his friends. He could see neither head nor hair of either of them but the lumps in the covers and soft breathing coming from each bed told James that they were still sleeping. Which was good because if they had known he'd fallen out of bed he would never live this one down.

He laughed to himself as he stood and tossed the blankets back on the bed. He looked at the time and noticed it was almost time to start the day. They had a scuba class lined up for later that morning although he wasn't sure how well they'd do with all this rain. He shrugged and donned a pair of pants and a shirt and walked out of the cabin onto the front porch. He sat on the bench and slipped his shoes on. Leaning back on the bench with a sigh he stared out at the rain, not knowing exactly where he wanted to go. HE finally decided to walk and see where he ended up…

Where he ended up though was the exact place he set out to go (without knowing it of course) .

James pulled back the covers of Lily's bed and slipped in with ease. He wrapped his arms around the love of his life and fell fast asleep finally feeling at home next to her.

Lily woke up and felt an arm slung over her body. She groaned. "Roxie…this is really getting old…" she said rolling over only to see the angelic sleeping face of one James Potter. She could do nothing but smile and lean in to kiss his soft lips.

James awoke suddenly to find Lily's lips pressed softly to his. Merlin I'm in heaven. He thought. Though he had kissed her many times before, the innocence of this kiss was overwhelming.

When Lily pulled away and looked at him his hazel eyes were open and his lips had curled into a smile. "Hi." She said softly.

"Hi." He whispered sleepily.

"Whaddo you want?"

"Just to be next to you."

"No there's something else. I know you James…You want something…" she said questioningly.

"Well Lils there is one thing. And I was going to wait till sunset, but due to the weather I'm not sure we're going to get much of one."

"What are you playing at Potter?"

"Lily Evans," he said a smile spreading across his face. "Will you marry me?"

Her only response was a long passionate kiss. James tried to break away so he could get an answer but she wouldn't have it. She was soon on top of him shedding clothing whether it was his or hers it didn't matter. Lily would have what she wanted.

"So you're answer is?" he asked slowing down just as she was about to reach her peak. Lily would get what she wanted, once he got his answer. It was selfish yes, but it was the one thing he was willing to be selfish about.

"James don't stop." She said breathlessly.

"Too late, I need an answer. I won't let you have what you want until I know for sure you're not going to leave me the second this is over."

"Because I love you James Potter and yes, I will marry you."
